Matt 7
1
Judge not, that you may not be judged,
2
For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete,
it shall be measured to you again.
3
Any why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye; and seest not the beam that
is in thy own eye?
4
Or how sayest thou to thy brother: Let me cast the mote out of thy eye; and behold
a beam is in thy own eye?
5
Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam in thy own eye, and then shalt thou see to
cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6
Give not that which is holy to dogs; neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest
perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turning upon you, they tear you.
7
Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened
to you.
8
For every one that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that
knocketh, it shall be opened.
9
Or what man is there among you, of whom if his son shall ask bread, will he reach
him a stone?
10
Or if he shall ask him a fish, will he reach him a serpent?
11
If you then being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more
will your Father who is in heaven, give good things to them that ask him?
12
All things therefore whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you also to
them. For this is the law and the prophets.
13
Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth
to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat.
14
How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there
are that find it!
15
Beware of false prophets, who come to you in the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they
are ravening wolves.
16
By their fruits you shall know them. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, and the evil tree bringeth forth
evil fruit.
18
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can an evil tree bring forth good
fruit.
19
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit, shall be cut down, and shall be cast
into the fire.
20
Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them.
21
Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven:
but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom
of heaven.
22
Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and
cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name?
23
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work
iniquity.
24
Every one therefore that heareth these my words, and doth them, shall be likened to
a wise man that built his house upon a rock,
25
And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that
house, and it fell not, for it was founded on a rock.
26
And every one that heareth these my words, and doth them not, shall be like a foolish
man that built his house upon the sand,
27
And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and they beat upon that
house, and it fell, and great was the fall thereof.
28
And it came to pass when Jesus had fully ended these words, the people were in admiration
at his doctrine.
29
For he was teaching them as one having power, and not as the scribes and Pharisees.
